I'm running v9.2 and our company wants to start testing our applications for IE8 since they're coming off beta and going as a full-on update.

When I've got QTP open, attempting to launch IE8 causes the browser to crash immediatly. Has anyone seen behavior like this? I plan on rechecking the workstation tomorrow but if it's a documented issue it *might* provide me with some leverage to get the upgrade since we do a lot of automated regression testing out here.

Hey, I've been pushing for a QTP software update but I'm just a small cog in the large machine.

You haven't noticed versions 9.5 or 10.0 of QTP? One or both of those MIGHT support this new browser. Review the readme that comes with your version of QTP as it specifies the OS platforms and browser versions it supports.

I didn't install QTP 10 yet.... can you tell me the response of QTP10 when QTP 9.2 or 9.5 developed scripts are run on it...did it ask for any patch to be installed like it happens for QTP 9.2 script to run on QTP 9.5???...

Before starting with QTP10 - make back up your TestCases.In QTP10, when open TC first time - you would be asked to make conversion. (exactly procedure when we vent from QTP6.x to QTP9.x)It is not reversible.Also, there are something that do not work in QTP10 and required changing script.If your scripts are simple - you probably will not get those problems. If not...Be ready to works on every TC...You will see, when trying to run.

Just forgotten:QTP9.x doent's work with IE8. Period.Problem can not be fixed in any way.In IE8 - lot of new stuff come to the world,lot of internal changes, not visible to the clients, but effected on tool.QTP9.x did not coded to support IE8.

The only solution is install QTP10.It supports IE8 and works as expected.
